I was... But I think I am going to use it now. It's one of those things... I have it, I want to try it, but I am also lazy as the truck works well as-is.
This is the first thing I fixed on my truck, once I got the first 1,000 mile assessment out of the way. I made a new map for fixing this with the transmission in Drive mode. I wanted something between Sport and Drive, without all the engine braking of tow mode. My truck is much more enjoyable...
Just as most said... Size and cost. My Ranger is basically the size of my 2001 Cummins was (minus the 8' bed) and I thought that was big.
For cost, I would have done the 3.5L Ecoboost and by the time I optioned it to what I wanted, it was a $65k gas truck. I paid $29k for my Ranger after...
I bought a Weigh Safe 8" adjustment hitch to be able to deal with different trailer heights/loads. I did go with the steel version as I didn't like some of thet wear I've seen on reviews with the aluminum.
I feel like you're trying to take a dig, but blunt honesty is the best I can do, yes. Either way, it wasn't wrong.
I actually don't live in Denver anymore. That goes with the retired part... But I actually lived in the foothills. Had to get away from all the Californians and Texans...
Yes, the SHO is faster and at least a 20mph faster trap speed, with the hood acting as a parachute. My buddy did a lot of the testing on the Plaid, which off the showroom floor, is not quite an 8-second car. When he was making many of this 9 second passes, he messaged me saying with how fast...
I've got my own inside stories and this is spot on.
I definitely think electric has a place... An in-town car that is cheap. At the current prices, they're not even a consideration for me (still just a car). I just bought two new gas (one is hybrid) vehicles for less than I was looking at for...
PHEV and co-existence of gas and electric should be the goal at this point. For the most part, wherever you get your "facts", they're the facts some specific entity wants you to know. Unless you're actually in the business, all the "facts" are likely wrong to an extent.
Thats a good one...
A poorly driven STi, I could see that. But even at that altitude, a well driven, stock STi is a low to mid-13 second car.
I know College Ave really well. Not particularly a great place to race.
You will eventually be forced via mandates, already in place. I looked at getting an EV as a town car when I lived in Denver... Nothing about it was cheaper than I already have.
I'm a car guy... A stock Lamborghini isn't fast. :) lulz...
One of my good friends is a factory test driver for...
I would not want to pull power off of my vehicle.
And maybe substantially faster to some. Some of us have higher standards of power for our other vehicles.
It all sounds great, but there will be a cost regardless and there are still a lot of places that it will not fit for everyone. The...
